Legoland = great Memorial Day!

We decided to do a 'staycation' on Memorial Day and drive to San Diego for the extended weekend. I had been eying the military discount on Legoland annual tickets and thought that with it being relatively close to us, it would be worth the splurge so we loaded up both cars and the dogs and went due west.
We braved the crowds for three days and took Brenden on his first amusement park experience. Granted we could only stay at the park from 10-12 each visit because of his nap schedule but we were able to do a lot in the two hours we were there each day. Since Brenden is just at 36" in height, he was able to ride some of the rides that kids his age probably couldn't. Not that we took him on anything extreme or anything - unless you consider the kiddie planes and helicopters extreme. The one ride he sort of got overwhelmed on was the Pirate boat ride where everyone has water guns and you aim them at other riders. Not a bad thing but then the general public has access to some on the outside of the ride - bad thing. We got absolutely drenched and he freaked out about that until after the ride when my friend Jen and I were laughing so loud at being completely wet and then he got the idea it was funny. He also loved riding the little train and the little toddler splash park. The kid loves water!!  Looking very much forward to taking him many times in the next year.
